Sen. Mitch McConnell Freezes Again During News Conference

Senator Mitch McConnell froze yet again mid-sentence while addressing the media — marking a second frightening episode like this that he’s suffered in public.

The Kentucky legislator was talking to reporters Wednesday in Covington, KY, addressing a Chamber of Commerce matter and seemingly doing fine … that is, until he wasn’t. When a reporter asked him about running for reelection, he took a long pause.

Much like he did a month ago on Capitol Hill … Sen. McConnell just stood there quietly, and appeared to zone out. Eventually, one of his aide s stepped in and asked if he heard the question … but he didn’t even respond to her, only staring out into space and remaining frozen.

The aide asked the media for a moment of privacy, and that’s where the video cuts out.

Obviously, this is deja vu — and many suspect he might have experienced a medical episode … although, the first incident was never officially described as such by his team. Now, there are almost certainly going to be even more questions and scrutiny over his health.
